 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-08-07 Canonical linter config (`golangci-v2.12.2`): replaced
+  `.golangci.yml` with the shared canonical config (v2 schema; settings now live
+  under `linters.settings`, so the `lll`/`funlen`/`cyclop`/`dupl` thresholds
+  actually apply — the old top-level `linters-settings` block was silently
+  ignored). The four repo-specific disables (`mnd`, `exhaustive`,
+  `paralleltest`, `testpackage`) moved out of the config into targeted in-code
+  `//nolint` directives carrying the original approval dates, so the config
+  stays byte-identical to canonical. Real fixes: `t.Parallel()` in all 32 tests,
+  24 long lines wrapped or their comments tightened, control bytes in
+  `term/tcell.go` as character literals, and two `wsl_v5` defer cuddles. The
+  repo has no golangci-lint version pin to bump (no Dockerfile or CI;
+  `make lint` runs the host `golangci-lint`, currently v2.12.2).
